[jira] Created: (ROL-1836) Media Blogging: replace YUI context menu
with simple links
Media Blogging: replace YUI context menu with simple links
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: ROL-1836
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1836
Project: Roller
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Media files / uploads
Reporter: David Johnson
Assignee: David Johnson
Fix For: 5.0
The Media File View page includes a YUI based context popup menu with these options for a media file:
- Edit
- Delete
- Include in Gallery
- Include in Post
It is flawed in several ways:
- Not obvious: it's not obvious that the menu exists, users won't notice it
- Requires left click: again this is not obvious, users won't know to left click to get the menu
- Doesn't always work: in some cases after scrolling the menu will not work and you get the browser's context menu instead
- Requires a lot of JavaScript code: the code is long and complex, not justified by functional benefit
I think the best course of action is to remove the context menu and add links to the Media File Edit page to allow users to create new weblog posts.
Once the context menu is gone, here's how users will accomplish the functions that were on the context menu:
- Edit: simply click on a file to edit
- Delete: users already have option to delete selected files
- Include in Gallery: users already have option to do this via edit page
- Include in Post: add links to edit page to enable this
